Awarded Best of Zola
We worked with Ally as our wedding coordinator, and we couldn’t recommend her more! From the very beginning, she was incredibly responsive, organized, and knowledgeable - especially when it came to our ceremony at the Jewel Box in Forest Park, which is known for having an extremely strict timeline. From the moment we booked the venue, Ally guided us through ceremony timing and logistics, putting our minds completely at ease knowing she would be running the show. Our rehearsal was efficient and perfectly organized thanks to her direction, and on our wedding day, she went above and beyond. As the venue coordinator, she was able to access the space early, set up all of our decor beautifully, and ensured that everything ran seamlessly from start to finish. The ceremony went off without a hitch, and we owe that to Ally’s calm, collected presence and attention to detail. She truly has an amazing eye for design and what looks best in a space. Whether you need help with coordination, planning, or decorating, you’ll be in great hands with Ally!

If you’re looking for an engaging, professional team to bring your wedding vision to life, look no further! I had the pleasure of working with Trinity Griffin Events (TGE) for day-of coordination at my wedding last October, and the experience was outstanding. My primary coordinator was Nikki, with Trinity serving as my secondary coordinator—both were incredible. Our package included support starting 90 days before the wedding, helping my husband and me stay organized and on track as the big day approached. That guidance made a huge difference in easing stress throughout the planning process. TGE also handled the setup and breakdown of our décor, which allowed me, my family, and friends to stay fully present and enjoy the celebration without worrying about logistics. From our very first meeting through post-wedding follow-up, their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine warmth truly stood out.

I am so serious when I say I couldn’t have gotten married without Allyssa. It is incredible to work with someone who is so phenomenal at their job. She has so much experience to bring to the table and comes across as effortless on her part. From day one, her organization kept me on track despite my insanely busy schedule. Most people feel that wedding planning is stressful and I actually think I had FUN planning the wedding of my dreams. She has such amazing relationships in the industry, so knew all of my vendors were trustworthy and going to make my day so special (and they did!!!). Her calm demeanor in every situation makes for the most hands free and stress free wedding day. I was so stress free and having the time of my life that I wasn’t even bothered when I got espresso martini spilled all over the front of my dress! Allyssa was immediately at my side with (a lot of) Shout wipes to take care of business and get my back to my party! She took my vision and made it reality. Allyssa genuinely made my wedding day the absolute best day of my life!

I have a dirty little secret… I never wanted to be a wedding planner. It was never something that was on my radar. The series of events that led me to this industry is, to be honest, not very exciting, inspiring, or important, really, so I’ll skip that part. (Feel free to ask me later.) What is important is that my heart is in help and service. Born and raised in St. Louis, I’ve gained a lot of knowledge about local wedding vendors, traditions, and styles. But after working 12+ years in the industry, I’m down for anything and love working with a couple that has a unique style and vision for their day.

When I first started to plan our wedding I was not sure I needed a wedding coordinator but boy was I wrong! Having Lyss for our big day was a game changer. She handled so much- from helping keeping every timeline on track, to setting up decor, to steaming dresses and providing Bobby pins to bridesmaids, my niece ripped her dress and she pulls out a sewing kit and helps fix it, she even saved me with deodorant at one point throughout the day. Another thing I loved is that she took pictures behind the scenes so the next morning when I woke up I had pictures to look back on instead of waiting weeks for my photographers photos. She helped my family with clean up at the end of the night too. She never missed a beat and made it where myself and my family members weren’t running around completing tasks and could actually enjoy the day. She is professional, communicative, kind, and someone you can trust on one of the biggest days of your life. Would recommend her a million times!

Eili is exceptional in wedding coordination! She is detail-oriented, extremely organized, and very giving of her time! She made me feel very at-ease during the last few weeks leading up to the wedding! She went above and beyond “normal” coordinator duties! To name just a couple examples, she was there the ENTIRE wedding day (whereas most coordinators are present for a few hours and charge more for extra time), she was extremely communicative with vendors, personally picked up my decor so I wouldn’t have to transport it to the venue, decorated my entire venue beautifully, and even took videos of special moments throughout the day! Everyone who interacted with Eili had nothing but glowing reviews for her! My husband and I owe the perfection of our wedding day to Eili!

Awarded Best of Zola
Shanna is fantastic at what she does! Shanna helped me organize my wedding trip to Costa Rica and helped insure my guests had an enjoyable stay. From day one Shanna was communicative about the level of services she offered from helping secure a room block to assisting in planning the entire wedding! I had Shanna help me contact Planet Hollywood Resort in Costa Rica and asked to have 20 rooms reserved for my guests. Shanna got a contract from the hotel and walked me through all of the wording and what I was signing for. I felt safe knowing that Shanna was looking out for mine and my guests best interests. Shanna also allowed my guests to have flexible payment options, so they had plenty of time to pay off their trip before leaving. Shanna also set up a website where my guests could download all of their travel documents and important paperwork, and could easily contact her via the app if they had any questions or concerns. She was very prompt with her replies and my guests really appreciated that. When my husband and I originally booked our stay, we opted for a junior suite room as it was more affordable and we figured it wouldn’t be used too often. Shanna offered us an upgraded room to Star Class (which is a luxury suite) for no additional charge! The room was better than we could ever have imagined. So spacious and the bathroom was a dream! My husband used our room with his groomsmen for them to get ready before the wedding and they had plenty of space for pictures, snacking and hanging out! The night before our wedding we had organize a bbq on the beach for our guests. With the weather turning and becoming quite windy we were told we would need to move it indoors. Without hesitation, once Shanna received this note from the resort she contacted our guests through the app to make them aware of the change in location. This helped my husband and myself immensely, as we didn’t have to worry about reaching out to guests ourselves to let them know about the venue change. From start to finish I never had any doubt that I would enjoy my trip. I am eternally grateful for Shanna’s expertise and thoughtfulness. She truly cares about her brides and does a terrific job.

As a coordinator, I start working with you as soon as we sign a contract. I send you helpful tips, organization sheets, etc. I review all the details you’ve put into your day and make sure nothing is missed!

Someone recently called me an "Enchanted Fairy" bride--likely because of my tulle skirt and woodsy wedding. Well, if that was the case, then Catherine was my Fairy Godmother. It has been a few weeks since the wedding, and every time anybody talks about it (MOB, MOH, Groom, etc.), we always mention Catherine and a job well done. She was extremely organized and professional... A calm and collected creative expert. When we had to devise a rain plan, she provided insights and solutions. When we had to execute said rain plan, she delivered. She helped with set up, decoration, timeline management, vendor management, guest experience, and more! She was also a friendly face and presence throughout the day... checking to make sure we were stress-free and happy. As our Day Of Coordinator, she went above and beyond before the wedding, and maintained this level of excellence until she left the venue spotless at the end of the night. We cannot thank Catherine enough for her services; She was a crucial part of our perfect wedding day.

Imagine Thanksgiving. You're prepping the turkey, trying to find the fancy bowls, answering 1,000 questions from your fiance. Then the doorbell rings - you're letting in guests, taking their coats, trying to stop the dog from running out the door. Then SHOOT, the TURKEY! You sit down for dinner exhausted, you have one glass of wine, and then it's time to clean it all up. You realize you didn't even get to talk to your mom, or your brother you rarely see. Your wedding day shouldn't be like Thanksgiving. You should be able to enjoy every single second. With Complete, you CAN!

The Day Of STL is a St. Louis-based wedding coordination company founded by Madison Akers. After being involved in over 10 weddings as a bridesmaid, wedding singer, and behind-the-scenes problem solver, Madison realized she had a natural eye for keeping a wedding day running smoothly. That experience turned into a passion and The Day Of STL was born. Madison now brings that same energy and attention to detail to every couple she works with.

I hired Madison as our day of coordinator due to feeling stressed about other people in my world "working" during my wedding day instead of enjoying it. Madison made sure with her whole heart that this did not happen. She took care of everything and many things we were not thinking of. She handed out NYE celebration supplies when I did not think to do that (just for the photo booth), made sure I stayed on schedule (my other biggest stress), and even found my grandmother a handicapped accessible bathroom. And most importantly, my family and friends were able to enjoy our wedding day completely. She took care of setting up, taking down and everything in between. Every meeting or text exchange with her calmed my nerves so I felt confident going into the day. It is very clear that Madison has excellent organization and execution skills and is truly a joy to work with. If you are thinking about hiring a day of coordinator, Madison is your girl!!

Awarded Best of Zola
We have loved working with Heirloom Design & Company so far. It is taking away so much stress from our planning that we feel like we can actually enjoy our engagement season! Her design knowledge is incredibly helpful and making the process much smoother than we could have handled on our own. I know our wedding day is going to be beautiful!

We worked with Christine for our designation wedding. I came across Christine through a Facebook group for destination wedding couples and through references and recommendations from other couples, we decided to hire Christine as our wedding planner. It was one of the best decisions we made! We are both full time working couple who have a high demanding jobs so we really needed someone to help us plan and help carry out the wedding planning for us. Christine was so open and kind and highly experienced and knowledgeable. When it was trying to help us narrow down where we would want our destination wedding, Christine would come up with these different venues, detailing information on budget, location, website, links, and information that would help us narrow down our selection. Throughout the process, Christine was always telling us to reach out to her whenever and she would follow up with us and even insight on the hospitality and venue side, she knew negotiations with contracts and things to ask that we wouldn't even be aware or know about. We absolutely recommend Christine to any couple who are looking to hire a full time wedding planner and that need that handholding support. We loved working with Christine! Thank you Christine for all your support and kindness working with us even through our wedding day.
